Gift for a Newly Baptized Adult Catholic!

By:

Christina Caiñas C Harrell(Jacksonville, May 18, 2015)

Review:

My husband (in charge of RCIA in our Parish) and I are close friends to the man who received this gift from us. It is so hard for "Newbie Catholics" to navigate a missal or a hymnal or other sources and this has everything they need! Also, that if he cannot attend daily Mass, he can still meditate on the readings and the other saintly writings. Powerful spiritual tool and important in continued faith formation. Thank you!

Review:

I keep getting emails asking me how I like my purchase and I still have not received the first copy of the publication. The long delivery time is very, very disappointing. I ordered the books after finding a copy in my sisters house. Poor service so far.

Review:

I am very glad that I ordered a subscription to the Magnificat Magazine and a leather cover for it. I keep it on my nightstand next to my bed and spend the last few minutes before I go to sleep reading that day's readings and information. I find that it is an excellent end to my day and also helps deepen my appreciation for my religion. I will definitely renew my subscription.

Review:

I can only comment on a friend's copy of the magazine since when I placed the order it said it was on backorder so I don't know when I will receive my own. I was so impressed with his copy that I placed the order without knowing when I would start receiving it.

Very handy

By:

Ms. Picky(the great USA, May 18, 2012)

Review:

It's much easier to use than the Misselette's provided by the church, plus easier to hold for us seniors. I like the saint vignettes provided throughout the book. The artwork is pretty, would like to see more. Also, would like to see a section in the back with some of the common prayers and prayers for use during communion. It's missing the instructions regarding when to sit, stand, and kneel. Best Uses: Good for anybody; Cons: Need to buy the cover; Describe Yourself: Everyday Reader; Pros: Easy to Carry, Lightweight

Holy stuff! Magnificat is magnificent.

By:

Mary(Cincinnati, OH, February 1, 2011)

Review:

We first used it at a local Catholic church because of the Sunday and occasional weekday Masses that we attended. Now, we read the morning and evening prayers every day as a husband and wife. Even when miles apart. The holy rhythm that it brings to our souls is unbelievable.
Scripture dominates the devotional, yet it is the authentic supplements of the daily saints, intercessions that lead us to add our own prayers of thanksgiving and supplication, and powerful "Meditation of the Day" that enrich us. Describe Yourself: Everyday Reader

MAGNIFICAT well worth the price!

By:

Celia(Texas, December 28, 2010)

Review:

I was first referred to MAGNIFICAT by a friend in Ireland in 2008. In 2009, I became a subscriber. As I travelled frequently for work, MAGNIFICAT was an easy size to carry on a plane or in my jacket pocket. Daily, I read, pray and learn from MAGNIFICAT, especially enjoying the biography of the saint(s) of the day and the excellent reflections from various authors (including laity) on the daily mass Gospel. In 2010, I renewed my subscription plus gave a gift subscription to a dear friend. MAGNIFICAT is well worth the cost and will enhance the reader's knowledge, spiritual reflection and join one more deeply to the learning and wisdom of the Catholic faith.

By:

No names please(Olympia, WA, April 10, 2009)

Review:

I'd like to suggest an improvement: Add a sort of User's Guide to explain how to use the Magnificat. When I got my first issues, I wasted most of my time during Mass riffling through the pages looking for where the priest was, or where the congregation was. I found the publication so confusing and difficult to use during Mass that I rarely take it with me to church anymore. The only use I make of it now is to occasionally look at the nice pictures and read the articles that most interest me. It's slick and lavish but not very useful to a recent convert.

Magnificat- it's all in there.

By:

Sing joyfully(Cincinnati, OH, March 23, 2009)

Review:

My husband and I pray evening prayer together before bed using Magnificat. It combines hymns, scripture, traditional prayers, and intercession. The monthly feature I love most is the art study where a high-quality photo of a work of sacred art is highlighted. It includes historical information, explains the piece, and leads me to notice and appreciate finer details that I would have passed over on my own.
Magnificat contains more material than I can use in a month, but even if I only use half of what is included, I find it to be worth the purchase. Best Uses: Devotional, Educational, Mass companion, Older Readers; Cons: Hard to use it all; Describe Yourself: Everyday Reader; Pros: Daily reflections, Engaging Articles, Evening prayer, Lives of the saints, Morning prayer, Sacred art study, Well Written Articles

Daily Mass Book

Review:

I love the "Magnificat". I don't leave home without it. It can be used for daily Mass as well as Sunday Mass. You still have the readings for Mass if you can't attend. It provides Morning and Evening Prayers as well a meditation from Catholic Saints.

Magnificat is Magnificent!!

By:

MaryTravler(San Dimas, CA, January 4, 2009)

Review:

This daily prayer book is really wonderful! It loosely follows the priests liturgy of the hours, offering prayers and meditations for morning and evening. It has nudged me into wanting to pray every day....I know I should, but secular life and personal laziness are my enemies...this little prayer book is helping me to become more prayerful. I go to weekly mass early just to read my book and become centered on the Eucharist. Best Uses: Older Readers, To improve daily prayer, Travel Reading, Younger Readers; Describe Yourself: Everyday Reader; Pros: Great Meditation Material, Well Organized, Well Written Articles

A Great But....

By:

Sterling Grandma(Sterling, CO, January 2, 2009)

Review:

The magizine is a good "starter" for people wanted to learn daily prayers. It is also good for the Mass Readings and Prayers. I enjoy the Mediations and the "Saint of the Day". I would like to see it come in a large-print option for easier reading. I would also like to see it more closely follow the Liturgy of the Hours in prayer content. Best Uses: Mass ReadingReference, Travel Reading; Cons: Hard to resubscribe, No large print available; Describe Yourself: Everyday Reader; Pros: Engaging Articles, Handy Mass reference, Prayer book for learners, Up-To-Date Content

Useful Short Office

By:

BillPayer(San Antonio, TX, January 1, 2009)

Review:

This is a very good layman's devotional for daily use by Catholics and others devoted to the traditions of the Church. It is not useful for priests, deacons and religious vowed to the office because the content (esp. psalms) is incomplete. Highly recommended to build an understanding of God and the Church, through the saving work of Jesus Christ. Best Uses: Devotional guide, Older Readers; Cons: Short on Psalms; Describe Yourself: Casual Reader; Pros: Engaging Articles, Up-To-Date Content, Well Written Articles

I love including the Magnificat into my daily prayer life. Absent going to daily Mass, it allows me to feel connected to the current Liturgical Year through the daily readings and prayers. The additional prayers, intentions, profiles of saints and daily writings help me to keep straight my path.
